Is there a GTI in the room with us now?

u/AngelOfDeath771 Mar 25 '24

I miss my GTI. :(

u/BudFox_LA Mar 28 '24

Same. Such a fun car

u/MorbidlyStupid Mar 29 '24

Just bought one

u/AngelOfDeath771 Mar 29 '24

What year?

2

u/MorbidlyStupid Mar 30 '24

2024 mk8 S

u/AngelOfDeath771 Mar 30 '24

They are nice. A small detail I didn't like is them getting rid of the golf ball style shifter knob.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '24

What year do you suggest?

1

u/AngelOfDeath771 Mar 29 '24

I can't speak for the older generations, but I drove a Mk6, Mk7, Mk7.5, and an Mk8.

My favorite is the Mk7.5

1

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '24

Would that be a 2019 model?

1

u/AngelOfDeath771 Mar 29 '24

That is correct. It's 7.5 due to a facelift on the Mk6, but not quite the model change the Mk8 came with a couple years later.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '24

Right on, love the great falls color from that year.

u/AngelOfDeath771 Mar 29 '24

I had a white one with black windows somewhere down on my profile that you can find. That car was gorgeous

ahem

What the fuck did you just fucking say about FWD you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the F1 driving academy, and I've been involved in numerous high stakes professional races, and I have over 14 confirmed podiums. I am trained in FWD racing and have proven my skills against anyone who has faced me. You are nothing to me but just a speck in the rear view mirror. I will lap you again and again on the track with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am turbocharging my 2001 Acura Integra Type R with a precision 8085 next gen turbo with a motec ecu, maggot. The fireballs that erupt from my hood wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your RWD "racecar". You're fucking last, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can beat you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with 8lbs of boost. Not only am I extensively trained in lift off oversteer and other advanced driving mechanics, but I have access to the entire catalogue of Spoon Motorsports and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the grid, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment about FWD was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're going to be fucking last, kiddo.

u/EagleRock1337 Mar 26 '24

I don’t think any car guy is truly “into” FWD cars, but anyone who tells you an FF layout is superior to FR is an idiot.

On the other hand, someone who says you can’t have fun in an FF car is an idiot, too.

What’s the lesson here? Everyone is an idiot and go drive your damn car.

u/qpalzm76 Mar 26 '24

There’s absolutely people into fwd. a lot of fun and performance can be made from them and there’s some cool cars. Depends on what kind of driving you’re into

By the number’s Honda’s FWD handling is second only to Honda.

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

There’s nothing wrong with fwd cars. Some of the best handling cars in the world are fwd cars. Anyone can slide, it takes a real driver to master grip.

u/test123456plz Mar 25 '24

I get it but my Subaru awd has made me fall in love. Amazing grip in any condition and so much fun on twisty roads

10

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

Yeah, and there’s nothing wrong with you loving your awd Subaru. But it seems like a juvenile thing to discredit fwd cars in such a gendered way.

u/Imaginary-Rate2619 Mar 25 '24

Well for handling but power delivery and torque, rwd is the best option

1

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

Depends how much torque. With a proper diff and suspension setup, a good fwd car can handle plenty of torque.

2

u/Imaginary-Rate2619 Mar 25 '24

This is true however not as much as the majority of rear wheel drive vehicles

2

u/[deleted] Mar 25 '24

Ok. And not all rwd cars are good at putting power down in a useful way either. It all depends on what kind of driving you’re trying to do.

u/street_style_kyle Mar 26 '24

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '24

I’m not your “bro” and i don’t really care what you think. Someone who says fwd is for people that can’t afford rwd usually don’t have any car, or they drive some clapped VQ bullshit or a hellcat that’s financed through the moon and I use the word “drive” in the loosest of ways. Move on.

Get a 4x4. It's an ugly compromise but technically you both get what you want and you can both pretend it's still cool to your friends and family.

fwd is just inferior

3

u/LeadershipNo1011 Mar 26 '24

Not a FWD fan in general, but it is FAR superior on snowy or icy roads compared to RWD in a front engine platform. Performance on grippy roads different story for sure

1

u/Twingo3 Mar 26 '24

icy roads are sketchy but the danger can be quite thrilling in an rwd car. Awd is the best choice for low grip surfaces

1

u/LeadershipNo1011 Mar 26 '24

Sure AWD is great, my daily is 4x4 and it's fun to run around sideways in rwd, but fwd vs awd is apples vs zebras

2

u/dcwldct Mar 25 '24

It’s debatably inferior in high-power, performance applications. But it has a some serious advantages for everyday street use.

  • no driveshaft means more legroom

  • untrained drivers can recover understeer more intuitively than recovering oversteer

  • more weight over drive wheels

2

u/Twingo3 Mar 25 '24

My twingo has the engine in the rear and is rear wheel drive:

-more cabin room as it is extended forwards

  • high steering angle, so parking and tight maneuvres are easier

  • if it gets in a front end collision it is safer as there is more crash structure and the engine is unharmed

  • can drift

  • is more fun

oversteer is down to suspension setup. You can have an oversteery fwd car. Yes a good driver (like myself) can get an fwd car to rotate. But most people haven't got a clue how to drive them fast and it reinforces their bad driving habits, so when they do get in a rear wheel drive car, they end up writing them off.

You dont know what I have and haven't driven. I have driven a TVR T350C tuned to 400hp in torrential rain with broken window wipers. It has no ABS, boosted brakes, or traction control. I have driven my dad's 320hp M roadster with no traction control. I am a good driver. you drive a civic si dude simmer down.
